What does the San Jose commercial real estate market look like?

San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley and anchors one of the world's most valuable CRE markets, with office and R&D rents among the highest in the nation. The North San Jose submarket along Highway 237 has evolved from industrial to a major tech campus zone, while downtown San Jose is undergoing transformation led by Google's planned Downtown West mixed-use mega-project near Diridon Station. The Santa Clara submarket houses major campuses for Intel, Nvidia, and Applied Materials, and the Milpitas and Fremont areas have become hotbeds for advanced manufacturing and clean energy firms. Despite cyclical tech layoffs, the market's deep pool of engineering talent and proximity to venture capital sustain long-term demand.

  • Google's Downtown West mixed-use development near Diridon Station
  • Apple Park in Cupertino and its massive employee base and supplier network

Market Insight

Google's planned Downtown West project near San Jose's Diridon Station is approved for up to 7.3 million square feet of office space alongside housing and retail, positioning the surrounding area for significant CRE value appreciation as the transit-oriented development takes shape.
